International Women's Day: Unlocking the power of women and girls
February 27 2012. Last updated June 18 2012
International Women's Day is celebrated every year on 8 March. It's an opportunity to honour the inspiring women who are changing their communities and societies around the world.
At CAFOD we believe that to unlock the potential of women and girls is to unleash a world-changing force of nature.
That’s why every 8 March, we join organisations, governments and nations around the world to honour and celebrate the social, political and economic achievements of women and girls throughout history and across the world.
Read stories of some of our partners’ work and the inspiring women and girls they work with below.
And tell us who has inspired you!
